INTRO PARAGRAPHS! Period 6 by Courtney Warner https://padlet.com/cwarner/arqpp49sh8yg Add your name and your intro paragraph to the padlet below! Copy and paste! ;) en-us 2019-01-28 18:03:00 UTC 2019-05-28 14:22:22 UTC hello@padlet.com Spencer https://padlet.com/cwarner/arqpp49sh8yg/wish/325067274 Cash or a salary could be spent on wants rather than necessities, potentially leading the athletes into a debt they would not have with the benefit of a scholarship. Student-athletes could use the money for non necessities, which could lead to debt. Also how much would they get paid? Do you base it off of importance of the sport? Or do all sports get the same salary. If all athletes get paid the same, is that fair to the sports that get more television time then others. Also if they athletes get paid, they have to pay taxes. Most athletes get there fees and payments deducted through scholarships. Athletes can get athletic scholarships which can help a lot. Also athletes can earn either all college free or half there stay free. Paying athletes would also not be fair to the other students who take the same classes but don’t get paid because there not a athlete. This needs to be brought up and talk about it because it can affect a lot of lives and universities throughout the country. College student-athletes should not be paid because some sports are bigger than others, and scholarships help student-athletes get almost if not free college.

Each year the Border Patrol apprehends hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants who flagrantly violate our nation's laws by unlawfully crossing the United States-Mexico border. Border Patrol is necessary to police and protect our country.  The tightening of the United States border with Mexico began after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 to the World Trade Center and Pentagon.  Border security continues to be a concern. The government is temporarily shut down because President Trump wants to stand behind his campaign promise to build a wall between America and Mexico. A barrier will decrease the number of illegal immigrants causing crime, will lessen the economic drain on public funds, and lessen the amount of illegal aliens breaking the American immigrations laws.

Even every religion has their own idea of what happens. There is also many people with strange beliefs. The importance of this topic is above our head that we could never truly find the “right” answer. With all these resources, it would almost be impossible to just believe one thing. Whether it is what you grew up on or your religion, there is truly no way of us humans knowing the true answer.

The social conflict with this is to make it to where everyone fits in, so if there needs to be another bathroom to eliminate this then we should pursue that. This will eliminate any concerns for if they are using the right bathroom or not.   The bathrooms are supposed to be a very private part of our lives and we like to go into them without worrying if there will be transexuals that could possibly try to watch or make us feel uncomfortable.

Space exploration is a dangerous, time consuming, and costly operation, that takes many people and a lot of dedication, but is important to providing new information about the earth and our role in the universe. This is essential because all humans live on this earth and need answers to the questions we all ask about life. It is a very controversial topic that needs to be addressed here and now. Despite the many dangers and high cost associated with Space Exploration, it is essential to providing humans with knowledge of their pasts and futures. Many important discoveries come along with exploring space that have helped shape mankind into its current state. Future discoveries about life can be made through exploring space. Exploring Space needs to be taking very seriously. There is so much that needs to be discovered about life through Space Exploration. ]]> 2019-01-28 18:07:56 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/arqpp49sh8yg/wish/325068442 Wyatt https://padlet.com/cwarner/arqpp49sh8yg/wish/325069004 Illegal immigration needs to stop, the only way for that to happen is for the wall to be built. Building the wall is important because it will stop illegal immigration and it will make it so much harder for the immigrants to come across the border undetected. They will be forced to go to one main checkpoint instead of going across the 700-800 miles of unsecured border. This wall will also decrease the flow of drugs and criminals coming across the border and into the United States. The border wall will increase border security and will decrease illegal immigration into the U.S.

Currently, prepackaged that include unhealthy lunches that aren’t healthy and lack taste. It would help children be more focused, have more energy by not eating junk food or sugar, and having a better well being. Children would be less stressed by enjoying good food and have a nice lunch. Enjoying something is really good for our mental health. Being at school all day can be really tiring and we do need a break sometimes. School lunches should be more prepared for lunches, think about our health and well being. ]]> 2019-01-28 18:09:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/arqpp49sh8yg/wish/325069424 Jake https://padlet.com/cwarner/arqpp49sh8yg/wish/325069577 The difference between Trump and Obama is significantly different. The economy is important because plays a big role in society. One has to take a big risk when trying to help a countries economy. Trump has taken a lot of hate for the things he has done so far, but nobody has realized how good everything is doing. He has increased many things within our economy and has impacted most of the American citizens in a positive way.  Since he has become our president, he has boosted the stock market, created a lot of new jobs, and lowered unemployment rate significantly. Trump has been a great factor in our economy.

This issue is important because at 18 you are a legal adult. If you commit a crime you are tried as an adult and convicted as one also. It also us important because in the military you are issued a handgun and trained formally how to use it. As a civilian to carry a handgun you have to have formal training to carry one in public.]]> 2019-01-28 18:10:58 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/arqpp49sh8yg/wish/325070279 Zeek https://padlet.com/cwarner/arqpp49sh8yg/wish/325084211 CTE is a serious brain injury causing NFL players to take their own life. They have suffered so many concussions, or blows to the head, they can’t function or control their moods. If left unchecked, their behavior becomes erratic and players can harm themselves and people around them. The NFL needs rules to protect their players from themselves. Putting rules in place eliminates unnecessary headshots and other dirty plays as much as possible. This assures these players will live a fulfilling life after they are done playing football. Safety is not soft. The NFL is not soft, bad helmet hits to the head can cause serious brain trauma. Safety is key to the players. Losing a player because of injury is a loss of salary/money but more importantly it lowers the value of clubs as a whole. Still, there is life after football and making the league safer is necessary for the long-term health of its players. The NFL needs rules to protect their players from themselves. Players need to be protected in order to protect the value of NFL clubs.

Trump has evinced  little respect little respect for the rule of law, attempting to have the Department of Justice launch criminal probes into his critics and political adversaries. He has repeatedly attacked both Deputy Attorney General Rod Roonstein and special Counsel Robert Mueller. His efforts to mislead, impede, and shut down Mueller’s investigation have now led the special counsel to consider whether the president obstructed justice. The fight over whether Trump should be removed from office is already raging, and distorting everything it touches.

If the US had the death penalty as a punishment instead of jail or prison the amount of people we have in them would go down. The US alone spends lots of money on jails for food and stuff to supply the imagination with the basic needs to survive.  Also we spend money to pay the guards and other employees in the jails who work in them. We could lower crime rate if we had the death penalty established as a punishment for those who commit such crimes as murder or rape. The death penalty is the only way to truly justify those who commit such crimes.

Seneca County is currently under a wind project called “Seneca Wind”, a project that is currently being developed, proposing up to eighty-five turbines in the county. They have yet to determine the sizes of these turbines, but have proposed the sizes of 584 feet to be the minimum size, 649 feet being another size, and 652.4 feet being the maximum size of the turbines. Many people in the county are trying to fight this project, for different reasons. One reason is wind turbines are known to be destructive towards the wild life in the area. Another reason is these projects can cause health problems to the people in the area. A third reason is the noise pollution and the looks of the wind turbines themselves. They also argue that the developers aren’t in it for the environment, but for the money. Although many people believe that these wind farms have many benefits, they can also cause a lot of damage.

Many people have argued the topic of being able to share public restrooms and not wanting to, there are consequences that follow. Sex-specific restroom facilities can lower the discrimination against gender dysphoria and lower suicide rates. With sharing these restrooms there have been accusations from women saying they were raped by men dressed as women that came into the restroom, having separate restrooms could end this. Sex-specific restrooms could let everyone be happier and feel safer how they are. ]]> 2019-02-05 17:53:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/arqpp49sh8yg/wish/327921510 Joel https://padlet.com/cwarner/arqpp49sh8yg/wish/333771852 Body cameras were introduced to law enforcement in 2005. However, The United States Department of Justice conducted a survey of 500 law enforcement agencies nationwide on the use of body worn cameras, less than 25% use body worn cameras. Furthermore, body cameras can be used to provide the public with how law enforcement pursues their duties, and to help avoid citizen’s rights being violated; However, law enforcement body cameras invade citizen’s privacy. Additionally, body cameras are a major impact in today's society, and to protect the officers from false accusations, misconduct, body worn cameras also increases accountability and transparency. Not only but also, to obtain valuable evidence from a witness and/or crime scene. Because, body worn cameras being used by law enforcement crime rates are going down.

Donald Trump has made many and stupid mistakes and is also tearing this Country apart. Nobody wants to have a president that doesn't know what he's doing and has has so many violations with the law.
